Question 26 • Chemistry

Which statement is part of Dalton's atomic theory?

Answer
A
Chemical reactions can change atoms from one type to another.
B
Atoms can be divided into their subatomic particles.
C
Atoms are able to be seen with proper spectroscopy equipment.
D
Matter is composed of small particles called atoms.

Explanation

Dalton’s atomic theory states that matter is made of tiny particles called atoms, so the correct choice is “Matter is composed of small particles called atoms.” Dalton also proposed that atoms of one element cannot be changed into atoms of another element in ordinary chemical reactions, making A incorrect. The other choices describe ideas that were not part of Dalton’s theory.
